Synopsis for 1st story

Solicit Synopsis

A NEW ERA DAWNS…AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!

HAWKEYE (KATE BISHOP). HAWKEYE (CLINT BARTON). A guy named FUSE. Never have they ever been called “the big three” of... anything. And now here they are, reunited for, okay, well, it’s only the second time ever. Thank god they also brought AMERICA CHAVEZ, GWENPOOL and KID OMEGA. Wait. What? That’s right, it’s the new West Coast Avengers, son. And you better hope they can figure out how to save the world because BIG things are headed for the West Coast.

Notes

• In Gwenpool Strikes Back #4, Gwenpool pulls her past self from this issue (along with herself from various other points in time) into her own time to help battle the Immortal Hulk. This issue's Gwen's caption box labels her as the prettiest Gwen, but also a little mean.^[1]
  

Trivia

• The news broadcast of the Land Shark Invasion that Clint Barton watches features the chyron "Oh god, everything is awful. Somebody do something." This is a paraphrase of a notorious panel from Hawkeye Vol 4 #2 in which the front page headline of a Daily Bugle newspaper reads "Everything awful / Oh God Somebody Do Something."
